Isle of Dogs

"Endlessly inventive animated tale of outcast dogs is a career highpoint for writer-director Wes Anderson." - Film Journal International

In a dystopian future, an outbreak of canine flu has led to all dogs in Japan being quarantined to a “garbage island.” Stuck sifting through trash, five disgruntled dogs are ready to make a break for freedom, when a young boy named Atari appears on the island, looking for his dog Spots. Atari’s quest leads the dogs on a journey across the island, bringing them up against the authorities, evil robots, and more.

Nine years after wowing audiences with FANTASTIC MR. FOX, acclaimed director Wes Anderson (THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS; THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL) returns to animation with the typically offbeat ISLE OF DOGS. Anderson’s signature style is in full swing in this whimsical tale, rendered in stunning stop-motion animation - and this time, it’s got talking dogs.
